[Bf-committers] 3DsMax editable poly like toolset

[metalliandy]

The Edit poly Modifier in max is really useful. One of the coolest 
things about it is that you can basically add the modifier and then 
change the mesh by adding loops etc. and once you remove the modifier, 
the mesh will revert back to it's unchanged state (or you can apply the 
modifer and keep the changes),
I would love to see something like this in Blender :)

Though I would like to see projection cages for baking first as 
currently it's impossible to bake a normal map in Blender if it has hard 
edges because you get seams etc. ;)

Cheers!
